A number of smaller ISPs have joined the broadband price war which flared last week between Telstra and Optus.
An Internet association in Western Australia claims that the number of new accounts for Internet service providers has dropped as a result of Telstra's broadband price cut in February.
PlanetMirror co-founder Jason Andrades has hit back at criticisms from the broadband community its new premium download service is overpriced, but does concede the market for the product is "difficult and evolutionary".
Internet Service Provider iPrimus, is scrapping its unlimited DSL plan and has given users a month's notice to find an alternative service.
Internet service provider TPG has revealed it's toying with offering users unbundled ADSL2+ without the need for a Telstra line.
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
There's something immensely gratifying about accomplishing the seemingly impossible -- particularly in IT, where pundits regularly proclaim that a particular technology has hit its physical limits.
Telcos would love to shift the cost of expanding mobile network coverage to customers with femtocells, but are they a good idea for customers?
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
Since last November when iiNet very loudly launched its naked DSL product, "naked" has been on everybody's lips, and it seemed like everybody was in on it. Some, however have held out. This round-up of 13 ISPs looks into who's got it, who doesn't and who wants to.
Thirty or so years since the birth of the Internet, we seem to be at a technological standstill when it comes to access speeds and bandwidth. If it is meant to be a superhighway, why does it feel like a back road?
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
Australia's first pure wireless Internet service provider launched its commercial broadband Internet service in Sydney today, claiming full independence from Telstra-owned telephony infrastructure.
If the world's homes are to enjoy the same high speed connectivity as its offices, the current thinking goes, then fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) will soon become necessary. However, not all Internet economies were created equal.
iiNet's CTO Greg Bader admits that Naked DSL is 'one of the hardest products to get connected to' because it is beyond the ISPs control. He also admits to 'not having much joy' working with Telstra in making the switching process simpler.
Telstra Country Wide has announced a AU$231 million investment in 2003/04 to improve services to regional areas.
Modem manufacturer D-Link had been distributing one of its ADSL modems to some of Telstra's largest wholesale customers without the carrier's interoperability certification for around four months.
Recently I asked how many of you still use a telephone line to connect to the Internet. The result? Plenty of you still use the good old standby, the dial-up modem. That wasn't really a surprise, although from what you read in magazines and on Web sites you'd think everyone already had a broadband connection.
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
